    Impetigo Pathophysiology

    Uploaded by

    Cesar Arada
    Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes are pathogenic bacteria that can cause infections through direct or indirect transmission. S. aureus is the most common cause and produces toxins and coagulase. Infections are more common in childhood, crowded environments, poor sanitation, exposure to infected individuals, and lack of daily hygiene. Symptoms vary depending on the type of infection but can include honey-colored crusts or plaques, punched-out ulcers, and fluid-filled blisters or pustules on the skin.
